What is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. This date is known as the Unix Epoch.
For example, the timestamp 1704067200 represents January 1, 2024, at midnight UTC. Unix timestamps are widely used in programming because they provide a simple, timezone-independent way to represent a specific moment in time.
Timestamps can be expressed in seconds (10 digits, e.g., 1704067200) or milliseconds (13 digits, e.g., 1704067200000). Our converter automatically detects which format you're using.
Why Use a Timestamp Converter?
Developers frequently encounter Unix timestamps in APIs, databases, log files, and JWT tokens. While computers process these numbers easily, humans need to convert them to readable dates to debug issues, verify data, or communicate with teammates.
Common scenarios where you need to convert timestamps:
- Debugging API responses that return timestamps
- Analyzing server logs with epoch-based dates
- Decoding JWT token expiration times
- Converting between time zones for international teams
- Calculating time differences between events
- Generating timestamps for database queries or tests
How to Use Timestamp Toolbox
Timestamp Converter
Enter any Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds) or human-readable date. The tool auto-detects the format and shows you the equivalent in multiple formats: ISO 8601, RFC 2822, and local time.
Time Zone Converter
Convert any date and time between time zones instantly. Perfect for scheduling meetings across regions or understanding when a server event occurred in your local time.
Natural Language Parser
Type dates the way you think: "next Friday at 2pm", "3 days ago", or "end of month". The parser understands natural language and converts it to precise timestamps.
Time Difference Calculator
Calculate the exact duration between two dates or timestamps. See results in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — useful for measuring elapsed time or planning deadlines.
Add/Subtract Time
Add or subtract time from any date. Need to know what date is 90 days from now? Or what timestamp was 2 weeks ago? This tool gives you instant answers.
